The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | December 13, 2021
What a remarkable sight to see the reunion of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss gathered around a couple of microphones in Nashville. It's been 14 years since their surprising and remarkable album Raising Sand and now they're back at Sound Emporium, the studio where they recorded some of that first record and the entirety of their new album Raise The Roof.
Huddled in the control room are an all-star cast of musicians, with Jay Bellerose on drums, JD McPherson on guitar, Dennis Crouch on upright bass, Stuart Duncan on guitars and ukulele, and Viktor Krauss on electric bass and guitar. All of these folks minus JD McPherson played on the original recordings of the songs you'll hear in this Tiny Desk (home) concert.
They kick it off with the rockabilly sounds of "Can't Let Go," a song originally recorded by Lucinda Williams and written by Randy Weeks. For their second number, Robert Plant recalls a song he first heard as a 15-year-old listening to some great R&B by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces. He and Alison Krauss put their hearts and harmonies into a cover of that song, "Searching For My Love." Alison takes the lead on the final tune "Trouble With My Lover," written by Allen Toussaint and recorded in the '60s by the "Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul," Betty Harris. These interpretations are delicate, gripping and so damn special.

I get a kick out of watching interviews of these two, or Alison on her own. She's very funny. She teases her co-conspirators in music making, in interviews and on stage in concert (like w/Union Station). But Robert Plant gives some of the teasing right back to her in some interviews -- implying that she's a bit of a taskmaster when it comes to harmonizing together. She's a mensch though and I'm sure she's gentle while being a music teacher to those she collaborates with. One of the many things I love about Alison Krauss is that I can trust her to never use autotune, the sound of which is like fingernails scratching a chalkboard to me. Because she can sing in tune when practicing and rehearsing, she will never need to use it -- as long as she can hear herself. I'm certain that's a must for her because it's part of how you harmonize with others. You're literally all creating sound waves, throwing them together, and it can either make a harmonic sound or a dissonant one. I don't know of much gray area there. Maybe that's why I love tight harmonies!

Wow. All y’all just discovering Alison Krauss… if you think she’s a great singer, you should hear her play fiddle! She was called a “virtuoso” by Vanity Fair when she was just 13, after winning a national bluegrass fiddle competition. Her fiddling is even better than her singing, if that’s possible.

Robert Plant is showing his age a bit more, but DAMMM he's still got it in Spades. Alison Krauss is a GD National Treasure. Great performance. I'm feeling like the guitarist in the back with the Sh!teating grin from having a front row seat for this performance!! Thank you for this

Robert’s voice is so distinct and original and Alison Krauss has the perfect voice of an angel, who would’ve thought these two voices would blend so well. I love that they brought back Bobby Moore’s classic, Searching For My Love.

Allison's voice. Wow! Just a band of great musicians enjoying playing what they are playing. As a LZ fan for decades, took me a while to understand why Robert Plant never wanted to put the band together. Now I get that he doesn't want to be an artist stuck in the past, playing tunes from the past, no matter how great, and never really being able to sound like the old days. He's a different person and LZ would never sound like it did back then. OTOH, he sounds amazing as part of this beautiful collaboration.

Well put. Though I must say, Robert can still belt Zeppelin. Check out the incendiary Whole Lotta Loves from 2017/2018. Robert puts everything into those performances. I'd also put Roskilde 2019 as one of the best/most unique sounding Black Dog renditions Plants ever done. Blows the rest of his recent Black Dog performances away from that year.

They leave me speechless. It's almost impossible to put Into words how incredible it is for me, someone who grew up on Led Zeppelin in the early eightees, to imagine Robert Plant doing this with someone who I grew to appreciate in the 2000s just as much, three decades later.

I think the upright bass might have been overdubbed. They did a great job concealing it, but there's a few moments where you can tell. But I'd wager the rest is live.
